(4.7) Resources and Changes in Earth Surface

Overview

By examining soil students learn about its properties and role in supporting plant growth. Students also observe events that cause slow changes in the Earth’s surface and learn about Earth’s renewable and nonrenewable resources.

The student is expected to identify and classify Earth's renewable resources, including air, plants, water, and animals; and nonrenewable resources, including coal, oil, and natural gas; and the importance of conservation.
